to measure time by presence or absence of precipitation when it tells you about the shafts of light moving towards you—

                                      a short embrace from                                       ceilings to walls to floors,                                       to land a kiss                                       on my forehead, eyes,                                       cheeks, and shoulders,                                       and there rests forever—                                       i lean my head against                                       the warmth that endures,                                       the warmth that it offers.
